Chief Product Officer at Carta

Speaker

Vrushali Paunikar leads the team that is building an ERP for private capital—bringing efficiency, automation, and transparency to an industry held back by spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Vrushali’s team delivers value to Carta’s more than 50,000 customers in the startup, venture, private equity, and private capital ecosystem, and generates growth for the overall business.

Before becoming CPO, Vrushali worked on building Carta’s valuation business and helped that business scale to software margins. She then went on to lead the Venture Capital business taking that business from zero to over $80M in ARR. She’s credited with envisioning Carta’s Fund Admin platform, which today supports 8,500+ funds and SPVs totaling $182B in assets under administration.

Before joining Carta, Vrushali served as a product leader at Applied Predictive Technologies, Dynamic Signal, and Rocket Lawyer. She has a Bachelor of Science from Carnegie Mellon University.
